Garrett Landscapes - Saint Augustine's Experienced Landscaping Services

For our local soil, we recommend a multi-step approach: first, we loosen the compacted soil, then apply a quality Saint Augustine-specific sod or plugs, followed by proper watering and a tailored nutrient program. The key is addressing the underlying cause, which is often poor drainage or soil compaction common in our area, to prevent the bare spots from returning.

Absolutely. We carefully evaluate the palm's health. Often, we can apply a layer of specialized topsoil and mulch to cover the roots safely without harming the tree, followed by sod or ground cover to stabilize the area. For severe cases, we may recommend strategic hardscaping or regrading. It's a common issue here, and improper covering can damage the palm, so professional assessment is crucial.

Proactive, climate-appropriate care is essential. We recommend a regular maintenance schedule that includes aeration to combat soil compaction, proper mowing height for Saint Augustine grass, and targeted irrigation to avoid overwatering, which can wash away soil and expose roots. A seasonal landscape health check from our local team can identify and address small problems before they become major eyesores or hazards.
